About this title
Synopsis
Bev Ostrander has counted the same forty-one aisles for eleven years and has never been off by more than a case. In April she is off by a pallet. In May she is off by four. The sheets in the file drawer say otherwise. They are in her handwriting and they are not her numbers, which means somebody with a key has been sitting at her desk after ten at night. She starts counting twice, quietly, on paper she takes home. The corrections keep coming, and the audit is in nine weeks.
Who this is about
Bev Ostrander runs inventory at a regional grocery warehouse and has the cleanest count sheets in the company.
What goes wrong
A pallet a week disappears on third shift, and the numbers only balance because somebody has been correcting her sheets after she signs them.
What's at stake
Reporting it names the four men on third shift, one of whom is her sister's husband. Saying nothing makes the corrected sheets hers.
Why it keeps going
She has to prove the theft without ever being seen counting, and every week she waits puts her signature under one more falsified number.
Takeaway
By the time you can prove it, you have already been part of it for a month.
